Scott Johnston Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Winner Winner Chicken Dinner! The Tom Power Hot Dog at Blue Wale was great, and the frites even better. The Hot Dog is a faviorite of Tom's from Max's in New Jersey, It was served with a great side of fries, home made kraut and a house made spicy mustard. Our table believed that the katcup was from a bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonRocks Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I call foul! Scott posted on facebook that he was there. I didn't see the Facebook post! But not only was he there; I went over and said hello. That said! I did not know the hot dog was on the menu (they changed the menus mid-service last night!), and knew the answer from the plates alone (very lightweight white enamel with a blue rim).

Choirgirl21 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Oh yes, bring it back! This thread slipped off my radar. Where did I dine? And I think someone needs to get this one. I feel like I recognize the bar/placemats, but I probably don't. I'll guess Graffiato though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ad.mich Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Don't think it's Graffiato - those look like roll-up garage doors, which I'm pretty sure they don't have (although the glassware looks similar as I recall). Also, that would mean a VW bus found parking across the street from the Verizon Center on Valentine's Day Friday night. I can believe a lot of things but that's a bridge too far for me!

cheezepowder Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Cheezepowder: Rappahannock Oyster Bar at Union Market Correct! The dish was zaatar seared tuna tataki, tabbouleh, and market greens. The presence of the cocktail was a hint, and the cocktail was made of Great King St. scotch, sweet vermouth, fino sherry, and kirschwasser. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LauraB Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 ^ The hint for me was the dish itself. My husband ordered this a couple of weeks ago and I was lucky enough to get a couple of small bites. That tuna and tabbouleh is incredibly delicious. Kind of made me regret my own choice, even though the crabcake I had was excellent as well. The cooking at this place always delights.

Choirgirl21 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I'm really kind of annoyed at myself for not getting it. The bar/placemat were definitely familiar, but I also thought the style of the food looked familiar and now that I know, it makes total sense even though that specific dish wasn't on the menu the last time I was there. Ah well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard two reports lately from users with iPads having problems with quoted text. I've written Invision, and this will go away in their next version, due out in another month or so (it's not directly their problem; it's a piece of software that they rely on written by another vendor - it's the other vendor that's going to fix it).

DonRocks Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I'm guessing "no" And you're probably right - my big question is whether the chicken is hot, or room temperature, and my guess is the latter which would make this more Chinese than anything (I'm also assuming, perhaps mistakenly, that the chicken was cleaved). On the other hand, that popsicle-thing is served on a banana leaf - that is most likely a big clue that might point to Southeast Asia. Yet, there's something almost Peruvian about this. Is it cuisine from a tropical country? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porcupine Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 Laura's right. I think it was a pullman bread, but not sure (picture was taken many months ago). It is very good. The canelé was decent but not extraordinary like the ones at BreadFurst are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
